Anxiety and Depression

Do you feel like you are carrying a very heavy burden? If you suffer with depression or anxiety, you are not alone. 

Depression is more than just feeling sad. We all feel upset or unmotivated from time to time, but depression is characterized by feelings of sadness and loss of interest in daily activities lasting more than two weeks. Depression stems from chronic anxiety. Medications treat the symptoms, yet do not correct the source of the problem in the brain. Research shows that approximately 30-40% of patients with depression have only a partial response to pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions. Some people with depression prefer non-drug approaches to help manage symptoms.

My approach is different.

When you correct the imbalance, your brain is better able to receive and process serotonin and dopamine, the key neurotransmitters for a healthy brain.

When your brain starts to function better, you will feel better. You can participate in life, connect with others, and do the things you love.

I use a qEEG brain map to see any dysregulation in the brainwaves that are associated with depression and/or anxiety. By understanding the source of the problem, we target that area for change using neurofeedback brain training. This allows you to reshape your brain, not just mask your symptoms.

Concussion/ TBI

Concussions can happen in sports, accidents, or whenever the brain hits the inside of the skull. A concussion can happen with or without loss of consciousness.

The symptoms of a concussion can mimic those of ADHD and other learning challenges. 

• Lack of focus
• Not thinking clearly
• Feeling slowed down
• Easily agitated 
• Nervous or anxious

You can sustain a minor concussion without knowing it — the result of a minor sports injury you simply “shook off.” 

Studies have shown that people who have had Concussions/TBI (traumatic brain injury) have developed memory and cognitive issues such as dementia, Alzheimer’s, depression and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). 

Contact me if you or someone you know has received a blow to the head and is struggling to get back to a normal life.

From a qEEG brain map, we can see the aspects of brain function often impaired when a concussion happens.  When we compare your symptoms to what the map shows us, we can see exactly what the issue is and how to help it.

Insomnia/ Sleep

Do you wake refreshed each morning?

Are you getting at least 7 hours of sleep?

Millions of Americans suffer from chronic, long-term, sleep disorders or experience occasional sleep problems. Without this essential restorative function, the impact on health, work, and relationships is profound.

Neurofeedback is a powerful tool for helping people fall asleep and stay asleep.

Neurofeedback has a powerful ability to positively impact sleep, because it works on the areas of the brain that allow and regulate sleep. With neurofeedback, most people can train their brain to allow sleep again by rewarding it for creating healthier patterns. Sleep can improve surprisingly quickly for clients who have struggled with sleep for years. Falling asleep and staying asleep is clearly the job of the brain.

Memory

The effectiveness of neurofeedback for slowing and improving the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s has been shown in recent studies.

A 2016 study of Alzheimer`s patients reveals:

“The individual results, analyzed with a reliable change index (RCI), showed that patients who received neurofeedback treatment had stable cognitive functions. These patients showed improvement in memory after neurofeedback and other cognitive functions were stable. In addition, an improvement was observed in recall of information and recognition.”
